Neville Log North Homes have a way
to make an age-old construction standard even better.

A
gable is where the triangular sections of a pitched roof are bounded
by the two roof slopes and the ridgepole. A dormer is the windowed
area set vertically in a small gable projecting from a sloped
roof.

They designed and built many different sizes of dormers
and use “all-log” construction in building them. The main type of
construction is Swedish-cope, which lends itself to strong yet
attractive dormers.

On to the photos...

This full-log dormer is from THE RIVER HOUSE
plan. It is on the upper level and houses the master-bath. The home
employs a second-story loft with the roofline coming down to the
floor. By adding the dormer they have expanded the usable space and
created a very attractive place to house a large and comfortable
bathroom. The ceiling is high (10+ft.) and with the addition of
drywall (on the framed, interior walls) we are able to have a
bathroom that perfectly marries log and conventional
construction.

The melding of porch, gable,
chimney and log dormer bring clean lines to this attractive
lodge.
